Consulting one's parents in regards to nikaah

Q: A Muslim guy approached me and proposed marriage. I explained it to my parents and they asked me to invite him to the house, he told his father but his dad rejected me saying he wants his son to marry a daughter of his friend or else he will disown him. Will I break relation or I pray to Allah to have the guy back or what should I do? I am really confused.


A: Listen to your parents if they are not wrong in their advising.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Q: Thank you for the answer but it is the guy whom have been given a different lady and I am depressed over it. Please what should I?

A: Do not grieve over this. Turn your heart away from this person and be pleased with the decree of Allah Ta'ala. Turn to Allah Ta'ala and ask Him to bless you with a pious and suitable spouse who will be a means of you gaining His divine closeness and proximity. Recite the following Dua after your salaah:

رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيْر

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
